All
Has anyone out there adjusted their LSPV when they lifted their vehicles? I was just curious. Or do most folks remove it?
With my "mushy" pedal problems (TSM rear disc conversion), I was hoping to re-adjust the calipers/parking brake per the instructions on the TSM site, and see a difference. I simply re-adjusted the calipers, and did notice a difference in e-brake performance. The test drive, was a bit scary in that post-adjustment I have significantly reduced the braking power. (think - OMG am I going to stop, pedal to the floor) Note - I didn't re-blead the brakes, so hopefull that is the problem.
Post test drive, I decided to finish the rest of the modifications I was going to make and see if I still have the stopping problems once it is all done.
I installed the 4runner calipers, and my grinding job matches almost exactly per the previous post.
I am going get one of the Marlin MCs hopefully this week to complete the project on friday.
I replaced the frame to axle flexible lines with longer T100 lines. I did the front first, without issue, then attempted the rear. When I disconnected the hard line - NO brake fluid came out...which could be a red herring, but something to take not of for future trouble shooting.
I sure do hope that all this mess will increase my stopping performance. I am regretting that the PO didn't stick with the stock drum rears, at this point, I am not really happy with the rear discs...
And another note - YOU MUST set your parking brake with the El Dorado calipers, it is how they "adjust" themselves.
Thanks all for the help and advice
